Pros
Sandoz offers attractive financial package combined with good bonus system. Due to the presence in variety of therapeutic areas, it offers possibilities to explore and learn in various business models (OTC, Rx , Biosimilars, Retail and Hospital channel). It is sometimes challenging to find the environment that offers so many opportunities to learn due to natural "wideness"of the portfolio and therapeutic area presence.
Cons
I have spent years working in this environment and would advise to future candidates to carefully think whether to join the environment. Ultimately my leaving was connected with severe and agressive mobbing which led me to private difficulties and long time recovery. Extensive working hours for years just to keep my job, shutting of by the group led by my supperior, extensive blame culture without evidence or possibility of transparent communication. I was put in impossible situations and privately advised by my superior to search for a job elsewhere. I was scared and confused, ashamed and severly dissapointed when the company offered a financial package for me to move on as the mobbing was characterized, by the company, as personal issue between me and superior. I was allways a worker with trackrecord of tangible success and high working ethics, allways keeping in mind the value that is brought to the organization. I am not frustrated today nor I want to put a bad image on a company, but for every person that is going to read this I warmly advise to carefully think whether to choose this company as an employer. Especially if you observe an opportunity on small market where the leader is autocratic, and where there are rumors of non transparency inside organization.
